The social network began testing ways to help businesses determine the success of their campaigns across platforms in March 2017, after shuttering its Atlas ad-serving platform and folding its team into Facebook’s measurement department.

Facebook Attribution—which was turned on for all advertisers Wednesday—enables businesses to gain a better grasp of the customer journey.

Examples provided by the social network include:

An advertiser can compare how its ads across Facebook, Instagram, Facebook Audience Network and Messenger are contributing to incremental business results versus not running ads on those platforms.

Cross-device reporting can be used to learn which devices people were using and where they were when conversions occurred.
